So anyway, you anarchists were right and I was wrong - the policeman is NOT our friend and in fact is just itching to violate our civil rights, all they need is the green light from some fascist Governor or Mayor.
Mea culpa.
The police aren't supposed to be our friends, they exist to uphold laws. Whether we like it or not, executive orders have the force of law until revoked, rescinded, or overturned by judicial review if they are proven to violate the constitution.Nay, you were not wrong, just too broad. Most police are our friends but there are a few who feel they are superior to the commoners. If they don't unscrew this thing soon there will be many more protests and in time they will become less peaceful.

Just wait until you get arrested exercising your 1A then the state will slap an ERPO on you and trample your 2A and 4A.
WHAF!? Really? Maybe, if you are in the service of the government, (ie. Maryland National Guard, or an employee of the State), but not the free citizens thereof. Which legislature passed such a law? Name and cite the law that says our Governor has been given carte blanche to create an enforceable law via an executive order?The police aren't supposed to be our friends, they exist to uphold laws.

That sounds good in theory, but the way it's currently written that's not true.Sorry, no. State officials do not get to violate our rights under the Constitution until some judge tells them to knock it off. WE the PEOPLE. WE own this place, not them.
That sounds good in theory, but the way it's currently written that's not true.
"The authority for governors to issue executive orders is found in state constitutions and statutes as well as case law, or is implied by the powers assigned to state chief executives. Governors use executive orders—certain of which are subject to legislative review in some states—for a variety of purposes, among them to:
From the National Governor's Association website
- trigger emergency powers during natural disasters, energy crises, and other situations requiring immediate attention"
"Equal Protection refers to the idea that a governmental body may not deny people equal protection of its governing laws. The governing body state must treat an individual in the same manner as others in similar conditions and circumstances."Sorry, still no. Google "equal protection clause" .
for the SOMD forums purpose, lets focus on Md., perhaps we could start with Articles 1, 6, 9 and 14That sounds good in theory, but the way it's currently written that's not true.

Next, try reading articles 24 and 36.for the SOMD forums purpose, lets focus on Md., perhaps we could start with Articles 1, 6, 9 and 14

LEGAL executive orders. These little hitlers are issuing executive orders on top of orders that will never pass the Constitutional litmus test when they get to the courts. They know it but continue to issue them counting on them being in force long enough for them to accomplish their agenda. When the court says no, they will say OK, sorry, I'll rescind the order. And in many cases the liberal courts will intentionally delay, delay, delay to help their lefty friends.
And when we say cops are our friends it doesn't mean we attend parties with them and exchange Christmas cards, it means they are there for the good of the people and if you are following the law they don't bother you (generally) and often will help if they see a need. Calling them friends is akin to referring to an ally in a war as a friend.
"Equal Protection refers to the idea that a governmental body may not deny people equal protection of its governing laws. The governing body state must treat an individual in the same manner as others in similar conditions and circumstances."
" Equal protection forces a state to govern impartially—not draw distinctions between individuals solely on differences that are irrelevant to a legitimate governmental objective. Thus, the equal protection clause is crucial to the protection of civil rights."
So unless the State government is saying that one group of people must social distance but others don't have to (as a loose example), I don't see how this applies.
